Buds woke up from a drunken stupor, head aching.
"Now I know how Misato feels like every morning." he said, resisting the urge to stand up. He felt tired and bad. Pretty normal after drinking Kami- sama knows how many. But what was bad was that he didn't recognize which bed he was. It wasn't his. And the roof looks different as well.
He felt a movement in his right. He knew that he was not alone.
"Ohayo." the figure said. It was Mara.
"Uh. we didn't. did we?" he asked.
"Oh, you were so good! I'll never had it so bad!" she purred.
Buds did what he could only do. Faint.

Me Against All Odds
Chapter 4: The Rescue/Outer Senshi Entrance
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Gorby was sitting still. Not much to do when tied up and being interrogated by Mercury. He would say nothing as the questions became a bit personal. 'Where do you live?' 'What is you phone number?' 'How did you know me and Moon? Do you know the others?' and finally 'Where is your leader' in which Gorby replied:
"I'm from Planet Ur-Anus, and I think you should mind your own business."
Well, not one of the smartest replies of the century, but it did leave him alone [after being slapped over and over again]. Gorby was once again looked up the ceiling, trying to find more curse words to tell his partner if he ever got out alive.
=Back to Buds=
Mara looked nervous now, and Buds didn't know why. He just dismissed his curiosity, assuming that the alcohol finally went out of her system.
"Mara, look," Buds tried to cheer her up. "I know it might be fast, but, I assure you, I don't blame you."
Mara still looked down.
"What's wrong?"
Mara looked up to him and said to him, "Buds, I just got a message from my boss. It seems that your friend was taken by the Senshi."
Buds looked calm. "Where?"
"In an abandoned building, about three blocks west of Juuban High." Mara said, in a tone saying that what she said was incomplete.
"Don't worry, I'll get him," and Buds left, only to turn around and stare Mara in the eye. "Mara, I'll be honest, you were the best thing that happened to me during my stay here, and I don't care what you are." and he left.
Mara stood at the door, crying a bit. (Why? I'm a demoness, I can't feel love.)
"Yes you can," said a voice.
"Mistress?" Mara asked.
"I summon you," it just said.
"Yes." Mara replied.
=Along the streets of Juuban=
(I feel it, the energy that emanates from the building. Have my powers already evolved?) he thought as he entered the building.
Inside, the Senshi were in the look out. It seems that Mercury's computer detected an unknown powerful anomaly.
"Is it him?" asked Mars.
"No, but the enrgy readings are almost familiar to his," Mercury said.
"It must be him. You know that every meeting we have, he grows more powerful," Mars said. "He'll be going after his partner, the Sperm guy." and she left.
"Should we follow him?" asked Jupiter.
"Yes, just to make sure." Moon said. She felt braver than before. If she meets the guy who shot her beloved, hell is gonna pay.
=Gorby's holding cell=
"Hey, wake up." a voice said, urging Gorby to snap out of his slumber.
"Leave me alone." he said.
"Hey, I'm here to get you out! Come on!"
"Buds?" Gorby said, opening his eyes.
"Yeah." he replied. "Now it's my turn to rescue you huh?"
"Took you long enough. Hurry! Get me out!"
Buds was about to comply when he sniffed. It seems that someone was coming and he panicked.
Mars entered and stared at the prisoner they held. He tried to look blank.
"So, feeling lonely?" she asked. "We would let you go if you just tell us where your partner leaves."
Gorby was trying to ignore the strong odor that Mars emitted. It was a mixture of a very expansive perfume and burnt clothes. He looked up her and saw Buds desperately trying to hang on the ceiling.
(Sheesh, the 'Cling to the Ceiling and hope nobody looks up' technique really works.) Buds thought. (But, damn, the smell!)
Buds tried to mouth silently 'Make her leave' but Gorby read it wrongly. He thought Buds wanted her to stay.
"So Mars, I heard he made you mad. Wanna talk about it?" he asked.
(What are you doing?) Buds asked as the smell overpowered him.
"What is it to you! Tell me where he is!"
"I'll tell you if you talk to me." Gorby replied.
Buds couldn't take it anymore. He hacked and coughed. Mars looks up with a nervous face and all she saw was black.
Buds looked at Mars' unconscious form and sighed.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!" Buds shouted.
"WHAT? I was doing what you told me to! Keeping her here!" Gorby replied.
"What? I told you to get her out!" Buds said. And he stiffened. "Oh shit, they're coming!"
"Huh? How did--?" and he was cut off as Buds grabbed him and dragged him out.
=Hell, Hild's Throne Room=
Mara looked at her mistress with her head down.
"What's wrong?" asked Hild.
"I... I made contact with a mortal foolishly..." Mara said. "I transferred dark powers to him..."
"I know," Hild said, unusually calm and a bit pleasant, something wrong to see especially for her.
"I'm ready to accept my punishment..." Mara said.
"What? I did not call you here to punish you," Hild said. "I called you to tell that new mortal his powers. He doesn't know."
"Uh, yes mistress..." and Mara left.
Hild sighed. (Just because we are demons doesn't mean we don't love... Maybe I should call that god I blindly fell in love with...)
Somewhere in heaven, Zeus receives a beating from his wife Hera, after recieveing flowers from his previous conquest. Hild must have been laughing her head off.
=Back to the abandoned building=
"COME BACK HERE!!!" Mars bellowed at the two figures running away from them. The Sailor Senshi saw the unconscious Mars and the two running figures. Mercury did her quick revival [a pail of cold water] and the wet Mars and dry Senshi's came at them, full chase.
Buds and Gorby ran like a chicken about to lose their heads. When they ran, they came at the fork, one left and right.
"I'll take right!" Gorby said at once.
"I'll... I'll..." and Buds didn't finish as he took left. The Sailor Senshi all took the left.
"WHY DO THE HELL DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?" asked Buds.
Gorby meanwhile found a perfect place to hide. He came to a door where there were there were three bathroom stalls. He put his ear from his door, and listened.
"COME BACK HERE!" "GET 'IM!" "YOUR'RE DEAD!"
And the sounds were coming near. The Sailor Senshis were coming near the door of the bathroom where Gorby was hiding. And when they did, they came like a tidal wave. When they left, Buds was left behind, tip-toeing, ducking in a silly form. It seems that he magically slipped under them. He rushed towards the bathroom and closed the door. He looked up and saw Gorby and he almost shouted from shock.
"Shut up!" Gorby said.
"Sorry," Buds replied, and they both became quiet when the Sailor Senshi came in again, rushing. They both tried to hide in the stalls. Gorby came in the first, Buds tried the last, stall, but it was closed. It read out of order.
When they left, they both sighed. Suddenly, Buds heard a voice from the other stall.
"Buds... Buds..." it said.
(This voice... Is it the genie in the bathroom?) Buds thought. He ignored the voice and left the stall.
Mara cursed her luck as she got stuck in the barricaded in the 'Out of Order' stall.
They quietly sneaked out, trying not to be heard.
"Tipy-toe, tipy-toe..." they whispered as the there were two figures in the background. They turned their heads towards the background and saw Sailor Neptune and Uranus. They all stared at each other for a second before Buds shouted "RUN!"
Buds and Gorby ran towards the corridor while Uranus talked to the Sailor Senshi, "They're in front of you!"
When the Inner Senshi appeared in front of Buds and Gorby, Gorby dragged Buds towards a sharp left. Before the Senshi's could react, Buds' head came from the corner and said to them "Hey! What's wrong, your butts too big to even run?"
Needless to say, the reaction was what Buds wanted. They all shouted and stormed after them.
"What the hell are you doing?" Gorby asked as he dragged Buds away.
"Just my contingency plan!" Buds said.
"What contingency plan?" Gorby asked.
"Gorby, who's your best friend?"
"Uh, is this the time?"
"Just answer it," Buds said.
"You are," Gorby finally replied.
"And who's my best friend?" Buds asked.
"Uhm, me?"
"Good..." Buds replied as he narrowed his eyes and tripped Gorby.
"WHA--!" Gorby said as he fell face first in the floor.
"YOUR BRAVERY WILL BE TOLD FOR GENERATIONS TO COME!" Buds shouted, waving good-bye.
"Wait you ass-" and he was cut off as the Senshis came and trip over him, and all of them rolled of the floor.
Buds took a look back and saw a yarn ball of people behind him. He took a left turn and they just passed away, except for Mars, Neptune and Uranus. It seems that they saw the plan and fell back to avoid the collision. Buds ran faster and was a bit shocked as he reached an elevator. He pressed the buttons and he waited, looked back at the Senshi gaining on him. He looks back at the elevator and was a bit surprised there was power on an abandoned building, thinking maybe it was Jupiter's doing. He whistled. Then he looks back at the Senshi still behind him, gaining ground. And he looked back at the elevator, which was below a floor.
(Shit, at this rate, I'm dead!) "C'mon! Open up! Abrakadabra! Open Sesame!"
Ting!
(It worked?) he thought. Before he could enter though, he felt a push on his back.
"YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY!" Mars shouted, pushing him inside. Neptune and Uranus followed suit. And the elevator closed.
"OW! HEY WATCH IT! EEK! YOU REEK! OW! THAT WAS A LOW BLOW! AAAAAGH! I take that back, THAT WAS A LOW BLOW!"
Ting!
And Buds was pushed out of the elevator, landing roughly in the ground.
"You shall now feel the might of the Sailor Senshi!" declared a voice.
Buds looked scared now as Pluto appeared in the center of Uranus, Mars and Neptune.
"For the safety of Crystal Tokyo, you may not live!"
Buds stood up, fear leaving him. (If I'm going to die, I'm going to die with a bang!)
The same thoughts were also Gorby's, as he faced four of the Inner Senshis by himself. Although it was more like... (If I'm going to die, I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you for the rest of your miserable life Buds!!!)
To Be Continued...
/------------------------------------------\ The Outer Senshi are in and Buds has yet to discover his powers. Will they survive now? Are the odds against them too great? Or will their will to live be powerful? Stay tuned!
